A quick run-down of the state of Alabama's top recruits...

I figure we could give everyone a run-down of the best recruits in the state of Alabama since National Signing Day 2014 and the early signing period are approaching fast. A lot has changed since the beginning of this recruiting cycle, a lot. Recruits thought to be Alabama/Auburn leans have ended up going with the opposite. Well, here we go.

1) Marlon Humphrey: Always been an Alabama lean, IMO. Legacy player. Alabama/FSU battle. Give Alabama the advantage because it just seems like a fit. Florida State will continue to battle and tell him what he wants to hear, and as bad as I want him to go to Florida State, Marlon Humphrey chooses Alabama.

2) Racean Thomas: Once thought to be an Alabama lean, Alabama slow played him in favor of Leonard Fournette, which gave Auburn the opportunity to steal him. Word is that Alabama turned up the heat on him recently, but I don't think it will be enough. Do not foresee a flip, but I also would not rule one out if Alabama misses on Leonard Fournette.

3) Tre' Williams: Once thought to be an Alabama lean, Auburn snagged him away. He feels like Auburn is home and has recruited very well for us. Do not foresee a flip in the near future even though Alabama is still recruiting him hard.

4) RaShaan Evans: Once thought to be an Auburn lean, flirted with Georgia for the longest time, and mentioned he wanted to get away from home for college. Since then, Auburn's season has swayed him, and both Auburn and Georgia insiders have Auburn as his #1 school right now. Auburn, Georgia, Alabama, and UCLA fighting for him. He picks Auburn in the end.

5) Ronnie Clark: Once thought to be an Auburn or Clemson lean (even named Auburn a leader during his Junior year), Alabama did well and finally gathered his commitment. Although Auburn is recruiting him hard still, Ronnie Clark is solid to Alabama. Do not foresee a flip.

6) Justin Thornton: Crazy recruiting in the beginning. Former LSU commit that flipped to Auburn. No signs of him wavering, as his teammate is also an Auburn commit, but there are questions around him having the grades to enroll. May have to go the JuCo route.

7) Stephen Roberts: Many thought he would be an Auburn lean due to the proximity of the school, but Stephen Roberts committed to Alabama early in the process. Eventually, he attended every Auburn game possible, and a flip was foreseen by the Alabama staff. Stephen Roberts stated he was going to wait until after the Iron Bowl to flip, but went ahead and got it out of the way. Do not foresee another flip.

8) Shaun Dion Hamilton: Once thought to be an Auburn lean, mainly because of Jeremy Johnson, Shaun Hamilton up and committed to Alabama early in the process. Since then, he has said all of the right things, and seems solid to some. Some are predicting another flip here because he has been in Auburn so much and has bonded with the Auburn players and recruits so well. We will see. 40% chance at a flip here.

9) Josh Casher: Roller coaster ride. Formally committed to Florida State, then flipped to Auburn, then took time off recruitment. Finally, he was passed over by Auburn (why, I don't know), and then finally committed to Alabama. His recruitment appears to be over and I do not foresee another flip.

10) Gavin Bryant: Tennessee commitment. Do not know much more than that.

11) Kamryn Pettway: Formally a Florida State commitment, he flipped to Auburn. Do not foresee a flip here.

12) Jordan Sims: Had a chance to commit to Auburn early in the process, but chose to try to wait on an Alabama offer. Now, it seems that Alabama and Auburn have both passed over him.

13) JaKell Mitchell: Auburn commit

14) De'Shaun Davis: Auburn commit
